This means being able to build a binary on a host system that will run on a target system, where these systems are of different architectures. For example compiling the Husk.c under Linux and producing a binary that will run under windows or mac. This is not as simple as it sounds.

    • a version of gcc and binutils that supports cross compilation is required in the host enviroment
    • headers to link against are required
    • libraries are required to be present that are compatible with the target system.
